      That’s true. Can you imagine the cruelty of being married to Keiko? I’d take the 30 year mental prison break no question.

    These would be funnier if they were actually comments on things that happened in the show. Or at least made sense.

    Like make them little comic strips that are set in between episodes that would work.

      Like the first several were sort of commentary on how weird it is that he seems to be there all day, and isn’t he, like, really bored? It was pretty funny.

      This one is just kinda a random sad meh.

      For sure, this bit started out making sense but there obviously is nowhere to go from “what does he do all day lol” so they turned into this kind of content that is so far divorced from canon it’s just meh (to me)

    I don’t need Star Trek to “redeem” all of the shit that O’Brien went through, like have him get a huge happy ending or statues built in his honor or anything, but I would like it if at some point there was a future canon story where Molly or maybe one of her kids grows up to be a truly remarkable person and they credit Miles. Like “I never would have been the person I am today if my dad hadn’t worked as hard and loved me as much as he did.”

    Miles never cared about promotions or glory, but by God people like him are what hold the Star Trek galaxy together.

      If Jesus was a carpenter then O’Brian was a plumber.

      The untold labor of responsible guys is what makes the worlds turn.

      Naw transport Riker out into space like he did to himself in one of the previous comics.

  • I gotta be honest, I don’t like these memes. O’Brien was a great character and yes he was transported chief in TNG. But he was also a badass in DS9 and I’d certainly celebrate that than poking fun at him.

      Honestly that makes these funnier to me. This is like a milktoast parallel universe version of him, like that time Q shows Picard what his life would be like if he never got stabbed.
